Spectacle : L’abolition des privilèges

Après Je I go but the State remains, Hugues Duchêne adapts the historical novel of Bertrand Guillot: The abolition of privileges. It is a state in chronic deficit, where the richest escape tax. It's a breathless diet. A people at the end of nerves, who demand justice and see nothing coming. A rich but blocked country, plagued by the whims of a disordered climate. This is France in the summer 1789. Until in one night, in Versailles, everything changes. It is the night of 4 August. Played in a quadrifrontal space by an actor embodying a dozen characters, The Abolition of Privilege is a sprint giving the feeling that History has suddenly accelerated.

“Jubilatory show”; “Duchêne has the art of injecting theatre into the living” Le Monde
